In China, every one, young and old, rich and poor, look forward to celebrating
the happiness of the Chinese new year. The spring festival is a new hope and new
beginning to everybody. It is also a time for the family to reunion. However, since I
came to the United States, I found I had lost my own custom and entertainment.
I had lost the time to celebrate the happy spring festival, while the United States
became a place for changing .
The first thing I have lost is the happy process of spending the New Year with
family. Like American’s practice for Christmas, In China, the process of spending
the New Year with family is very complicated. People always greet the New Year.
In the morning, people always put on their new clothes and shoes. Men, with their
wives, call on relatives and friends to wish them a happy and prosperous New Year
While the children of the family always receive present gifts of money wrapped in
red envelopes filed with lucky money from the other adults. However, In the United
States, people spend the new year in a very calm way, I have never had such
experience. Spring Festival becomes a very ordinary day, People here continue to
go to work because American people had already celebrated their new year in
December.
In addition, I had lost spending my time with the family. In China, it is a very
happy time for a family reunion before the eve of the New Year, every one tries to
come to join the entire family. In my memory, a mother always made a lot of food
for us . We could enjoy eating delicious fish, meat, soup, and vegetable s
together , when the clock turned at 12pm, a voice of fire crackers rang outside .
The fire cracker means lucky, hope, and all things of the universe became new.
While here in America, Chinese people sometimes go to church. The Christian
church always invites us to celebrate the spring Festival, and thanks for God. I fell
it has become a totally different way to celebrate the happy new Year.
At last I found I would never have the entertainment on TV program me.
In China, on New Years Eve, the CCTV broadcasts- a TV program which is
watched by hundreds of millions of people. I t is basically a variety act, with singing
and dancing, comedy acts, . Expect acts representing all fifty- six of China’s ethnic
nationalities. This will be on most households. While here In Chicago, I will never
have the chance to enjoy it, the TV program is all spoken in English. I have not any
opportunity to watch the Chinese Spring Festival’s program. I also had no chance
to set firecrackers off to frighten away evil sprits.
All in all, The Chinese New Year has become a good memory. It also has become a kind of previous. I find I have totally lost the happy time and custom to spend the happy Spring Festival and always miss this special time, I become miss this special festival. Though I have lost it in Chicago, It will always live in my heart. The United States becomes a place to change my process of the Happy New Year.

i think the same, because your culture and my culture are close. so, when we 're in the united state where is a salad bowl, we're gong be confuse a little bit about new culture and communication
ReplyDeleteThe essay made me miss the Chinese spring festival, also. When Chinese new year comes, I really want to go to China to visit my parents. We enjoy eating, watching TV, and going shopping. I felt excited because the festival is always fun. I plan to visit China during the next new year. How about you?
ReplyDeleteLikewise every immigrant in this country miss one thing or other in his or her life. the busyness and struggling will sometime will make you to forget who you are.
ReplyDeleteI miss how to celebrated Chinese New Year in China with my relatives and friends also. I understand how you feel to celebrated Chinese New Year in Chicago because it is totally different.
ReplyDeletein my essay, I have ideas clearly to support the main idea in each paragraph. my organization is clear. I think I have not enough creative words . if possible I will pay mor attention in the words and setenceswhich Ihave written in the words.meanwhie, I will describe the festival more detail if I have enough time.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. Chinese New Year is not the same here in the U.S. Another thing i observed is that people in the U.S. don't celebrate as long as China. Also, the format of this essay is a bit strange. It made it a little hard to read and follow.
